1INTRODUCTION

This document provides some instructions for authors ofthe manuscripts to be included in the Proceedings Volume ofthe Fourth International Conference on Materials Engineeringfor Resources 2001 in Akita. Authors are kindly requested tofollow the instructions given below in order to publish qualified
bonding volumes with the uniform layout and style. Each page
must be typed on white paper sheets of A4 size
(210mm 297mm) or letter size (8 1/2’’ 11’’) on one side
only. The paper should be prepared with electronic text
processing system and printed on a laser printer. Publisher
recommends the use of the Microsoft Word editor, or someother editor system to produce fine quality manuscript. It is
important to ensure the quality of language presentation of yourpaper.
The manuscript should be arranged concisely within 6pages including figures, tables, photos etc. and should besubmitted in 2 copies. If authors can arrange the manuscriptmaterial into less than 6 pages without any inconvenience tounderstand the contents of manuscript, the committee
recommends the shortened concise version. Final manuscript
should be sent to the Programming Committee of theConference by the deadline July 30, 2001. Please, use theenvelope with stiffener for size of A4 or letter (8 1/2’’ 11’’).
We will print the Proceedings Volume by means of offset
printing using the submitted manuscript prepared by authors.
The contributors don't need to send the source version of thepaper and the files of illustrations.

(i) or, in plural form, as Figs i, j; Photos i, j; Refs [i, j]; Eqs (i, j)-where i, j stand for a numbers. Above phrases are typed infull word when they appear as the first word of sentence.
Citation of table(s) is always written in full word -Table i, andTables i, j. Please be consistent in the use of capital letters,
abbreviations and punctuation.
2.4.1 Headings: Do not use more than three level depths ofheadings.
First-order headings: these are typed in bold normal 10pt
size upper-case letter of Arial. One line of space is inserted

2.4.2 Equations: Equations are numbered and written inparentheses. Equation should be left aligned with 6mm indent
from the left margin. Leave a 6pt space above and below toseparate it from the surrounding text. The equation number
should appear at the extreme right of the line. Please pay
attention that all variable references in text must be written thesame style as in displayed equations.
2.4.3 Tables: Tables must be set as part of the text. Alltables must have a caption centered over the table and should
